Bang Kachao

Bang Kachao is also referred to as the Green Lung of Bangkok, as it is located beside the Chao Phraya River, making it an ideal backdrop away from the hustle and bustle in the city. This man-made island has been maintained well by the Thai government by saving its forests, gardens and waterways to create an appealing vacation retreat that is only few minutes from Bangkok city and its urban sprawl. The tourists are able to enjoy picturesque bike trails, authentic floating markets, and local temples in addition to natural ecological diversity that includes mangrove forests as well as peaceful parks. The second difference is that, unlike the fast rhythm of life in Bangkok, Bang Kachao makes the world come to its places with a slower pace and more authenticity of life. It is a perfect place to have a break from the busy tourist locations among outdoor adventurers and families. Whether it is riding bikes with trees overhead, street food at the floating market or spotting exotic birds, Bang Kachao offers you a taste of the Thais full of civilisation and yet at the same time nature.
